whiteout

Deck duster here in Newville last 5 minutes.


.

Woke up to what appears to be about 5.5”. NW Cumberland County near Doubling Gap. Seems I was right on the northern edge of that crazy band.

Snow has commenced here in the Doubling Gap, Cumberland county.


.

Woke up to light snow and caved roads at 31 degrees. NW Cumberland county. Interesting surprise.


.

4.2” NW Cumberland County at 15:20. Snowing moderately. Beautiful scenes.





.

Man as excited as I am for the weekend potential, it’s depressing thinking we may go right back to a series of wet heavy QPF bombs. Was hoping for some sustained cold and winter for an extended period.

Any more chances to come post the 7th? How do we look long range wise?


.

Needed just a bit more elevation here in NW Cumberland County. Nothing on the ground at the base of the mountain but as you can see, looks like they got a nice pasting a little ways up.




.

What’s up fellas, thank God the cold months are back!

Some nice snow showers came through NW Cumberland County this morning but melted pretty much on contact at 36 degrees. Top half of the north mountain near doubling gap has snow on it so cold enough up there for stickage. Really cool look with the still fall colors.

Hoping for a big year this year!


.

3.6” here in Newville, Cumberland County and still snowing. Beautiful scene!




.

34 here with everything wet...not white.  No signs of any accumulation earlier.

Western Cumberland around Doubling Gap/Newville around 6pm. Closing on 2” on the deck and grass.




.

Finished up here in Newville. Really nice rates in that last band from 11am-1230pm or so.

Storm total was 4.75”

Crazy snow and wind in Newville out of the gate. The way it’s blowing I don’t see how we don’t go to a blizzard warning at some point. You wouldn’t want to be out in this and that’s for damn sure.


.

ABC 27 just showed coating-2” west of Harrisburg and 2”-4” to the East of HBG.

Seems low?


.

Crazy wind last night I guess! Been up 3 years and never an issue.




.

This is just one of those storms you can’t believe. Sitting at 14° in Newville at noon. And then in 8 to 12 hours I’m expecting to be changed over to rain unless I get into the dry slot. Just seems like it’s not possible.


.

Concerning with the sharp western cutoff of precipitation as modeled. I don’t think the low could track much closer to many of us and still stay frozen. Why so little once you get past maybe Altoona and west? If that track maximizes us staying frozen while still delivering little precipitation as you move west then some eastward shifts while staying colder would mean a lot less QPF for a lot of us.


.

It's kind of amazing the models keep doing everyrhing they can to avoid a more significant event next weekend.

Steady light snow has commenced in Newville.


.

Talk about a shit pattern:

That is pretty amazing.  I am 45 min from you and it is raining hard.  1/3" of rain since it stopped snowing.  

Over 2.5” in Newville and another small heavy band coming through now and it’s picking right back up! Over-performer!




.

Really coming down in Newville. I’m shocked. Everything caved and judging by the deck pic approaching an inch ️






.

Snow just commenced here in Newville and nice rates out of the gate is leading to laying even on the blacktop driveway. Looks beautiful even if this is going to be short-lived!
